[Test-Announce] Fedora 20 QA Retrospective page is up

The Retrospective page for Fedora 20 QA is now up (a bit late, but not
as late as last time...):

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_20_QA_Retrospective

We use the retrospective page to track things that went well and things
that didn't go so well during the Fedora 20 validation process, and for
tracking ideas we have but don't have time to act on during the rush of
doing validation (that's the wishlist).

Please, add any feedback you have of this type to the retrospective
page! There are instructions on the page for adding feedback.

All feedback is useful, and once 20 validation is done, we'll take a
look at all the items on the page and come up with specific
recommendations for addressing them which we'll file as trac tickets and
work on in the time before Fedora 21 validation starts up. We've been
doing this for a while now and it's turned out to be a great way to keep
constantly improving our processes.

You can look at the previous pages for inspiration:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:QA_Retrospective

And I'll copy/paste James' old list of leading questions to prompt
feedback (thanks, James!):

     1. Were you able to participate in any Fedora 20 Alpha, Beta or
        Final test runs?
     2. What worked well, what prevented you from participating, were
        instructions clear?
     3. What worked (or didn't work) well about Fedora Test Days this
        release?
     4. Are you a maintainer, why do you think your critpath updates
        haven't been tested?  What could you do to encourage more
        testing of your proposed updates?
     5. Did you escalate any bugs for consideration as
        {Alpha,Beta,Final} release Blockers?  Why not?  Was the process
        well documented and did it make sense?
     6. Did you attend or contribute to any Fedora blocker meetings?
        Why not?  What did you like, dislike?  What prevented you from
        participating?
     7. Did you find any of the release criteria changes or validation
        test extensions particularly useful or problematic?
     8. Can you think of any obviously important areas we are not
        currently covering in the validation tests and criteria?
     9. How are you finding the new tools that have been introduced over
        the last few cycles, like the blocker bugs tool and the test day
        results tool?
     10. Unlimited time and resource ... what do you think the the QA
        team should focus on for Fedora 21 and beyond </pony>
